1 Mukama yaabu̱ni̱a yaaweera Yona, 2 “Byokya ogyende mu rub̯uga lukooto lwa Ni̱neeva, orangire bantu baamwona, b̯ukwenda bunkuheeri.” 3 Mwomwo Yona yaakora nka Mukama kuyaali amu̱weereeri̱, yaagyenda Ni̱neeva. Ni̱neeva, lwali rub̯uga lukooto, lukutwala biro bisatu kululibata okalurabamu. 4 Yona yeingira mu rub̯uga hab̯wa kiro ki̱mwei̱, narangiranga bantu baamwona yati, “Hasi̱geeri̱yo biro maku̱mi̱ ganei, rub̯uga lwa Ni̱neeva luhwerekerezebwe.”
5 Bantu baa Ni̱neeva bei̱ki̱ri̱i̱ze b̯ukwenda bu̱ru̱gi̱ri̱ hali Ruhanga; baarangiira kisiibo. Bantu bensei̱, kurugiira ki̱mwei̱ hali mu̱handu̱ waab̯u kudwera ki̱mwei̱ hali akusembayo, baalwala maku̱ti̱ya, kwolokya nti baali ni̱bakwezi̱ramwo.
6 B̯ukwenda b̯ub̯u bu̱bwadwerereeri̱ mukama wa Ni̱neeva, yaabyoki̱ri̱ yaaruga ha ntebe gyamwe gya b̯ukama; yaasomolamwo bilwalu byamwe bya b̯ukama, yaalwala maku̱ti̱ya, kandi yeicaara mwi̱syanu̱. 7 Mukama yaarangiira kiragiro mu Ni̱neeva gyensei̱:
“Kiki kyokyo kiragiro kyange, gya mukama hamwenya na bahandu̱ bampondera, kinkuragira:
“Hatabbaho muntu yensei̱, rundi kisolo, kudya kantu kensei̱. Nabugyabba nte, rundi mbu̱li̱, gitadya kandi gitanywa kantu kensei̱. 8 Bei̱tu̱ b̯uli muntu, akuragirwa kulwala maku̱ti̱ya; kandi na b̯uli kisolo baki̱lwalye maku̱ti̱ya. B̯uli muntu akuteekwa kwesengereerya Ruhanga na maani hoi̱; kandi akuragirwa kuleka bikorwa byamwe bibiibi na bu̱kabbu̱ru̱ b̯wamwe. 9 Naani yeegi̱ri̱? Ruhanga asobora kuhindula ncwamu gyamwe, natugiira mbabazi̱, naleka kukwatwa ki̱ni̱ga, nabula ku̱tu̱hwerekereerya.”
10 Ruhanga b̯u̱yaaweeni̱ bi̱baakoori̱, kandi beezi̱ri̱ri̱mwo bikorwa byab̯u bibiibi, yaabakwatirwa mbabazi̱ yaabula kubafubira nka kuyaali akobi̱ri̱.
